A Quick Stop at Furney's Nusery

On one of those glorious Saturdays with Alison, we had a little time to visit Furney's Nursery before meeting Nigel for dinner.  I've posted here and here about previous visits.   The large pots of annuals spilling from the roof and top of the fence always grab one's eye when visiting here during the summer.


Quite the splash of color!  The fiesta like color combination of purple, pink, and orange made me smile.

Remember when Begonia boliviensis was a collector plant?  Enter tissue culture and marketing and now it's everywhere. 





My girlfriend, Monrovia,  is still there.   How I wish she would work in my garden.  Alas,  there's just not an appropriate place for her in my little plot.  Loree?  You know sometimes one truly beautiful piece of garden art is all that's needed to add a touch of refinement. 



Since Heather posted about her Bouteloua gracilis 'Blonde Ambition,' I've been seeing it everywhere. 

Delphiniums doing their second set of blooms. For those of you reading in Alaska, here we cut these down after they bloom the first time.  They regrow and bloom again around this time of year.   Such a glorious blue color!






Thanks for coming along on our quick walk through.  This is a large nursery with lots more to see!
